ps This 60ish person loves Taylor Swift and still loves Clash. I’m not sure I would have loved TS back in the late 70s early 80s though when I was a hard rock/punk lover.
I’d have bought a ticket just to watch her perform that one song. I often watch this …
I will take a listen, and see if it can hold a candle to the extended remix of Star Trekking.
She is an incredily talented lady. Supposedly about Jake Gylenhaal with she was 20 and he was 30 " but maybe this thing was a masterpiece so you tore it all up " Killer line
Masterpiece aside, I find it odd that she wrote a 10 minute song about a guy she dated for 3 months.
Timelines have no limits for when you fall in love 1 day 10 years especially at 20. A cathartic episode for her and powerful. I was dumped at 20 and it took me 6 months to get over it
Poll?
She’s written at least 10 songs about ex bf’s, just came out of a 6 year relationship, and she’s 34. That seems excessive.
Well yes but it’s writing for an audience. The teenage girls lap this stuff up, in their “deep” and “emotional” phase.
On her current album she’s also written a song about people who have your attitude to her love life !
Do you hold opinions about other artists and how many songs they write about certain subjects?
Yep, she has successfully figured out what her audience like and provides it. Part of this is to also include the subject matter of the song, not many other artists do that so frequently.

that’s very true! 
Is NSC really going to get into a discussion about Taylor bleeding Swift??..... I thought this board was for crusty old Boomer/Gen x-ers and all things Albion, not a board for teeny twinks and their facination with a sparkly clad Barbie doll from across the pond.
NSC is a veritable Smörgåsbord of discussion.

old men, sparkly clad girl
That's just sing to numbers though isn't it? That's not a real artist. A bit like Damien Hirst who only does commissions these days.
